Looking to have some fun with your kids and to learn some new drills or skills at the same time? Maybe sneak in a few things with your own children w/out them realizing it? Check out this PDF file that IYSA put out on their website. It's got some great ideas for groups as small as 2 and as large as 5 or 6 players.
Instructional video ~ excellent information but watch first and understand the tips before teaching your players (unless they are older and you direct them here.) The video has a lot of wind noise but the presentation is very good.
Resource site for helping coaches learn a new way of positive coaching, including double goal coaching.
There are tons of wonderful videos online and here is a link to some of them.
One of the many skills to master in the journey to becoming a strong competitive player.
